About Me

Lisa Dewey & The Lotus Life

Lisa Dewey, San Francisco Bay Area based artist and owner of the indie label "Kitchen Whore Records", began playing live shows in 1990 and has since released four full-length albums, two EP's and a book.

After playing solo for a few years, she formed a band to complete her ethereal pop sound. Lisa's songs usually start out as folk songs, and then the band adds drums, bass and heavy melodic lead guitar to transform the songs into floaty pop.

Lisa Dewey & The Lotus Life's new record, Busk (KWR) was officially released in the Spring of 2004. As with the previous release, "Weather Changer Girl", this new record also contains the work and assistance of the legendary Simon Raymonde of the Cocteau Twins, and This Mortal Coil.

Together, Lisa Dewey and Simon Raymonde have produced yet another masterpiece of female vocals over beautiful guitar melodies. It's dreamy, multi-layered, atmospheric and gorgeous pop with favorable comparisons to the Cocteau Twins and Everything But the Girl.

The album features guest performances by Simon Raymonde, Jackie Perez-Gratz (Amber Asylum) and Michael Steele (Bangles).
